The Mets and the number 6

I've noticed a trend here with the New York Mets, and no it's not the inconsistency or any of that stuff that really matters. It's all the new Mets getting the number 6. What is so special about the number six aside from the fact that it is my favorite number? Nick Evans was the first lucky recipient when he was called up and aside from his first game as a Met with 3 doubles he looked like a confused baby in a strip club. I actually called up Cooperstown and asked if they were making his bust for when he gets inducted. I have yet to get a call back.

Next up was Abraham Nunez and to say he was up for a cup of coffee is an understatement. I believe he had two at bats and both of them were strike outs. What a call up from Triple A! What a waste of good cotton his jersey was, I hope they frame his jersey out on the Citifield fan walk next year.

Now they gave this highly distinguished number to newcomer Trot Nixon! Who I think will be a positive influence on the team mostly in the clubhouse. He's a gritty player and we all know New York fans love gritty players who leave it all on the line.


So remember fans the Mets made this number famous:
